Inspired by the basic concepts of neuroscience, neuropsychiatry is a discipline at the interface between psychiatry, psychology, neurology and neuropathology. Interestingly, neuropsychiatry can also include specialized disciplines, such as developmental psychology, endocrinology and sexology. In this article, we describe the neuropsychiatric approach and present how it may be related to social neuroscience, and apply to sexual medicine by describing its importance for sexual dysfunctions and sexual desire.
受神经科学基本概念的启发，神经精神病学是一门处于精神病学、心理学、神经病学和神经病理学交叉领域的学科。有趣的是，神经精神病学还可包括一些专门学科，如发展心理学、内分泌学和性学。在本文中，我们描述了神经精神病学方法，并阐述了它与社会神经科学的关系，以及通过描述其对性功能障碍和性欲的重要性，说明它在性医学中的应用。
